Kerosene and Dip'heria,
panrIa TrSn sprlut

A we'll known doctor says that the
fumes Of kerosene, when the lamp is
turned low. are likely TO cause diptheria
The New York board OF health few
years ago decided that to this, more than
any other cause, the prevalence Of this
disease was TO be attributed. This
is given as accounting for the fact that
diptheris generally begins 70 spread with
the advent of short days aud lorg nights
Children dislike to go to bed in the dsrS,
and the kind mother let's the lamp remain
in the bedroom. usually turning down
the fame, SO that the lighs shall
not keep the child awake. Many
bedrooms are thus semi-lightsd all night
and the windows being closed, or raised
but slightly, the atmospheric condition is
simply 6esthlY. A turDed-down kerosene
lamp is q msgszine of deadly gas that the
healthiest lungs cannot safely be exposed
